Laundry detergent

Heres a laundry detergent that will cost you only cents per load.  I havent totally calculated it but I do know that I have spent under $20 for all the ingredients and Its lasted me 4 mths and I hardly put a dent in it.

2 cups Borax
2 cups Arm & Hammer super washing soda
2 Fels Napstha bar soap

You can use any bar laundry soap, I prefer Fels because it smells good. You can also add essential oils but I dont

Fine grate the soap bars and mix in with the Borax and A&H. I use about 1/8 cup per load for me and my daughter. I use 1/4 cup on my husbands clothes for obvious reasons.

Ive made the liquid detergent, but it takes longer.  If you want the recipe I can post that too. The liquid makes 5 gallons. Pin It
